You can look at
http://github.com/rantav/hector/blob/master/src/main/java/me/prettyprint/cassandra/service/CassandraClientFactory.java
so, to close the client you can just get the transport out of the client
(bold):
private void closeClient(CassandraClient cclient) {
log.debug("Closing client {}", cclient);
((CassandraClientPoolImpl) pool).reportDestroyed(cclient);
Cassandra.Client client = cclient.getCassandra();
* client.getInputProtocol().getTransport().close();*
* client.getOutputProtocol().getTransport().close();*
cclient.markAsClosed();
}
But to create a client you need a transport (bold):
private Cassandra.Client createThriftClient(String url, int port)
throws TTransportException , TException {
log.debug("Creating a new thrift connection to {}:{}", url, port);
TTransport tr;
if (useThriftFramedTransport) {
tr = new TFramedTransport(new TSocket(url, port, timeout));
} else {
tr = new TSocket(url, port, timeout);
}
TProtocol proto = new TBinaryProtocol(tr);
* Cassandra.Client client = new Cassandra.Client(proto);*
try {
tr.open();
} catch (TTransportException e) {
// Thrift exceptions aren't very good in reporting, so we have to
catch the exception here and
// add details to it.
log.error("Unable to open transport to " + url + ":" + port, e);
clientMonitor.incCounter(Counter.CONNECT_ERROR);
throw new TTransportException("Unable to open transport to " + url +
":" + port + " , " +
e.getLocalizedMessage(), e);
}
return client;
}
So what you can do is instead of passing a client to the method, pass a URL
to the method. The method would open the transport, create a client, make
some cassandra operations and then close the transport.
